Meet the founder

I’m Justin Gardner, Founder and Creative Director of 17six.

I spent over a decade embedded at Deloitte. I understand Professional Services, the complexity, the stakeholders, the language. That's not something you can fake or learn from a brief.

I'm really good with cameras and video production. I apply creative thinking to solve real business problems: explainer films that make complexity clear, individual branding photography that builds credibility, content that helps you stand out in competitive bids.

And critically, I understand people. I know which creatives bring what to a project, how they show up, and where they fit. I manage crew, stakeholders, and briefs with equal skill. I apply an edge where it matters and stay grounded where it counts.

I'm agile, trusted, and I will solve your problem, creatively.

17six is named after 17th June, the day my eldest son was born. It's a daily reminder of what actually matters. Family is everything to me and I'm currently relocating to Italy with my wife and three children to build a more family-oriented community lifestyle. That choice shapes how I work, who I work with, and what problems I solve. I value being physically present and fit, for myself, my family, and the people I work with.
